Across Türkiye, many families are living in deep poverty, struggling to afford essentials such as food, clothing, rent, and education.
Today, one in three children in Türkiye lives in poverty. When families cannot meet basic needs, the consequences are often felt most by children. Some go to school hungry. Some face bullying because their clothes are worn. And some leave school altogether to help their families survive.
This is how poverty traps the next generation before they’ve even had a chance to begin. Yet sometimes, what stands between a child and dignity can be something very small.
Today, we are asking for your support for our Deep Poverty Action Fund, launched in 2021 to address deep poverty and widening inequalities in Türkiye.
Through this campaign, we aim to help families access essentials many of us take for granted, including school meals for children and food support for households through June, as well as items like school supplies, healthcare, and other urgent needs.
Your donation can make a real difference:
- £75 provides daily school meals for one child for one month
- £100 covers the monthly expenses of a child with special needs, including education, medication and healthcare, and nutritional support
- £150 supports a child’s education for one month, including meals, school supplies and clothing
- £335 provides one month of nutritious food for a single mother and her children
- £505 provides one month of food for a family of five
- £945 helps cover a household’s essential monthly expenses, including rent, food, utilities, healthcare, and transport
Every contribution helps ensure that poverty does not determine a child’s future. Please consider making a donation today.
By supporting organisations working on the frontlines, we can help families access the support they need and give children the chance to learn, grow, and pursue their dreams.
Your support helps ensure that deep poverty is not passed from one generation to the next.
Please share this message with friends and family who may also wish to make a meaningful impact.
We are grateful for your support.
